Qualcomm Life, Inc. and AMC Health, a provider of ‘real-time’ patient management solutions are partnering to accelerate the transformation of chronic care and population health management by significantly enhancing connectivity and care coordination for at-risk patients, specifically those with heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, asthma or COPD, in a cost-effective manner. Under the new partnership, the companies will integrate Qualcomm Life’s 2net Connectivity Platform with AMC Health’s CareConsole care coordination platform.
Integration Details
The 2net Platform, 2net Hub and 2net Mobile solutions enable seamless capture, transmission and aggregation of biometric data from a wide array of FDA-listed medical devices in near real time. 2net offers increased interoperability and flexibility to capture device data from patients while they are in their homes or on the go, and securely transmit to AMC Health’s CareConsole platform. The CareConsole platform has a sophisticated analytics system that collects, verifies and analyzes patient data, presenting clinically actionable, daily patient information in an easy-to-use format to clinicians via a secure web portal. The CareConsole also alerts clinicians to emerging health issues, and enables clinical care teams to engage in meaningful patient education based on ‘real-time’ data, and focus on patients needing attention most urgently.
AMC Health’s expertise in customizing and implementing chronic care programs has contributed to significant improvements in health outcomes and reductions in costs of care, which have been validated in peer-reviewed publications. AMC Health solutions have been proven to reduce all-cause hospital readmissions by 20%, reduce costs of care for patients with heart failure by 11%, improve HbA1c levels for patients with diabetes by 1.8 points, and improve blood pressure levels for patients with hypertension by 11/6 mmHg.
“The home is becoming the fastest growing health care setting in the United States[vi] and the combined capabilities of AMC Health and Qualcomm Life are powerful in managing patients with complex care needs beyond the walls of the hospital and into the home,” said Rick Valencia, senior vice president and general manager, Qualcomm Life, Inc.
